Objective 1

Bilbo has asked you to speak with Lindir about the riddle he asked the old hobbit.

Lindir: Lindir smiles. 'I thought for once I would try one of the homely riddles that Bilbo loves so well, rather than an involved mystery of Elf-lore. And so it seems that with his mind in the clouds of Sindarin poetry, our friend here cannot solve old-fashioned riddles of the hobbit-kind.

'But I will give you the hint I gave Bilbo. The answer to this riddle can be found here in The Last Homely House. Just find the answer and bring it here to solve the riddle.'

Objective 2

Find an item that solves Lindir's riddle

The answer to Lindir's riddle lies somewhere in Rivendell. Lindir is in the Last Homely House in Rivendell.

Lindir is waiting for you to bring him whatever thing is the answer to his riddle.

Bilbo shakes his head ruefully. 'You have out-foxed me, Lindir! I was rummaging through all my small stock of Elf-lore searching for some poem or tale to fit the verse, but I should have been thinking of more prosaic things, after all. I wonder if you can answer my next little puzzle, though, my friend!'
